BREAKING: Widespread auroral displays possible in the northern/central U.S. and much of Europe! NOAA is now forecasting a *SEVERE* geomagnetic storm – reaching G4 level on the 1 through 5 scale – on June 2. That corresponds with Sunday night/Monday morning U.S. time.

This graphic of Trump’s cuts to NASA’s research fleet is insane. Why do this? Who wants this? Who was complaining we were exploring space too much? The only principle seems to be “if it can’t go directly into Trump or Musk’s own pockets, dump it in the trash.”

DO NOT USE MATH TO LAUNDER HARM If a decision is unethical without math, it’s still unethical with it. Example: If it’s unethical to fire someone based on race, it’s just as wrong to use an algorithm that does it based on race or racial proxies.

SUMMARY Data is extremely powerful, and with that power comes responsibility to others. Those who work with data have a heightened duty to act with a level of care that fully acknowledges the potential impact of their work on people’s lives.

Not only are they not going to have the interceptor layer ready to test in three years, I have my doubts about the sensor layer being completed by then and that's already being built theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…

🤔 Sun Zhibin of the National Space Science Centre in Beijing: "we first try to assess their intent. Then we choose how to respond – whether by dodging, adjusting our orbit, or releasing a small robot to grab and redirect the object" scmp.com/news/china/sci…

"Last December 25th, Russia celebrated the 2,000th launch of the R-7 family of vehicles. This is an impressive record, but it is also a revealing statistic about their limited progress in launch vehicle development over the last 60+ years." thespacereview.com/article/4995/1

Why is IRIS² being dropped now? 1. It has been non-sensical from the start at every level but killing competition by allowing the entire industry to form a single consortium was Breton's biggest stupidity by far. 2. France prioritizes saving Eutelsat over its satellite builders

Just in: Trump's decision to pull Jared Isaacman's nomination was the result of behind-the-scenes maneuvering: A top WH aide grew to dislike Elon Musk, and that aide lobbied for Isaacman's departure after Musk left Washington last week. Read details here: cnn.com/politics/live-…
